Learning to read is difficult — so we are making it easier with a series of fun activities that you can do with your child for reading practice.
With each activity your reader will practice core reading skills such as inferencing, prediction, main idea, description, etc. AND you and your learner will be having a great time!
Let’s turn reading into fun!
Find an interesting text that might appeal to your reader such as a joke from a magazine, a brochure for Disney World, or anything that is colorful and fun! Type that passage on a page that has large margins so that
The text is squeezed up intoa thin column in the middle.
Next, cut along the right side of the column cutting off the last one or two words from each line. Hand the paper to your reader telling him/her to read it trying to figure out what the missing words are.After a fair amount of time, ask your reader what words he/she came up with. You’ll be surprised to find out how creative he/she is when some of the answers are different, but still correct.
Congratulate your child on an excellent job!
